RUNE can be bought on several crypto exchanges. However, just like most of the other cryptos, you will have to trade your FIAT ($) to a cryptocurrency before moving on to the crypto exchange of your choice. We will be guiding you through the whole journey on how to buy and store RUNE.

MEXC

Founded in 2018, MEXC Global is a centralized exchange that employs a high-performance mega-transaction matching technology. The MEXC platform is run by a team of professionals with extensive financial industries and blockchain technology experience. Currently, MEXC Global has around 5 million users in more than 70 countries around the world. This achievement is a significant milestone, and the platform aims to become a go-to platform for new and experienced investors as they move forward.

Note: MEXC does allow US citizens to register and use their services.

Activate 2FA and verify identity

Once you have created a new account on MEXC by following similar steps as we did on Coinbase you will be prompted to activate 2-factor authentication (2FA).

It has become an industry-standard so I would highly suggest activating 2FA on any site that you want extra protection on.

You might also be required to verify your identity to be able to trade. This entirely depends on the exchange policies and your local regulations. The verification is very straightforward and should not take more than 30 minutes to possibly a few days depending on MEXC. Once the verification is done you will have higher limits and access to everything you need.

Step 4: Deposit USDT to MEXC Find USDT in your wallet

It’s time to head over to the wallet and deposit your newly bought USDT. Click on “Account” under the “Assets” tab.

Find or search for USDT and click “Deposit”. This will bring you to the deposit page.

If this is your first time making a cryptocurrency transfer this page might feel a little scary. But there is absolutely nothing to worry about if you read and do everything carefully (just as with your bank account).

First of all, make sure that the “Coin” field is the same as the coin you will be depositing. In this case, we will be depositing USDT. The network should be “BTC” if you are depositing Bitcoin. “ETH” if you are depositing Ethereum and “BSC (BEP20)” if you are depositing USDT.

Next up is the actual address to your wallet, which basically looks like an alphabet and number soup. This is the unique public address where your USDT will be stored on MEXC. Click on the “Click to generate the address” button and then the two overlapping papers to copy the address.

Note: If you feel unsure about what you are doing, make sure to check out MEXC FAQ section for answers.

Deposit USDT from Coinbase

Head over back to Coinbase and click on the “Send/Recieve” button in the top right corner.

Paste your address under the “To” field. Also, make sure to double-check that the address on MEXC and the address you just paste are the same. Because there is some malware out there that can alter the pasted address. What that means is that if the address does not match you are basically sending your precious USDT to someone else’s wallet. This is something we really do not want to happen!

Once you have double-checked the address you can enter how much USDT you want to send and a message (if you want to). Then go ahead and click on the “Continue” button.

You should receive a confirmation email within a minute. Click the link inside of that email to confirm the transfer you just submitted. Your USDT is now on its way to MEXC.

The transfer often only takes a few minutes, but can sometimes take a few hours at worst. It all depends on how congested the USDT blockchain is. You will get a confirmation email from MEXC once the USDT has been deposited into your account.

It’s now the best time to buy RUNE. So let’s jump right into step 5!

Step 5: Trade the USDT for RUNE Find the RUNE/USDT pair

Alright, let’s buy some RUNE. Start by clicking on the “Market” button at the top, after that type RUNE in the search field.

The order book. This contains all the “Limit” orders that users of MEXC have placed. Market Trades. This displays the latest trades made. The “Market” buy button. This button tells MEXC that you want to place an order for the amount of USDT filled out in the “Total” field. A market buy will try to fill your order at any cost, so be careful if you are trying to trade a lot.

Once you have filled out the total amount of USDT you want to trade for RUNE, click that “Buy” button.

If the order went through you are now an owner of RUNE. Congratulations!
